Market Days on the Square
From March thru December, GAO staffs the Georgetown Animal Shelter adoption trailer in downtown Georgetown on the 2nd Saturday from mid-morning to mid-afternoon. Animals from the shelter are brought to the square and showcased for prospective adopters to view and handle. If you’d like to volunteer to exercise the animals and tend to their needs, assist visitors with an animal, and inform visitors about the Animal Shelter and GAO’s programs and activities, call GAO at 863-6006 for information or drop by the adoption trailer and speak to a volunteer.
PetsMart in Georgetown
On most Saturdays except the 2nd, GAO has volunteers at the Wolf Ranch PetsMart store to assist people who may be interested in adopting one of the animals on display from the Georgetown Animal Shelter. At other times, shoppers may see a GAO volunteer in the store with a dog that is available for adoption from the shelter. Speak to the volunteer or call GAO (863-6006) if you would enjoy being a part of this enjoyable and fulfilling work.
GAO Meeting Schedule
GAO conducts a bi-monthly general business meeting (held in each odd-numbered month, i.e.January, March, May, etc.) beginning at seven o’clock at which visitors are always welcome to attend. All meetings are held at the Parks & Recreation Building at 1101 College Avenue beginning at seven o’clock. The short meeting is a good opportunity to learn about GAO’s activities and programs to help the animals and citizens of Georgetown.
The GAO Annual Membership Meeting (open to the public) is held in January at a place, date and time to be announced. Watch for a public announcement in the Williamson County SUN and cable channel 10.
